TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greeting! Journalism’s darkest night: Friday night’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner represented one of the lowest moments I’ve ever seen in the journalism profession.  The plug should have been pulled at least a month before the event, as headliner Trump widened his brazen attacks on the press.  Apparently the White House Correspondents’ Association had no plan in place to push back against Trump once he began hurling insults and slurs at the audience composed mainly of White House journalists. The press sat there silently. They should have walked out. Instead they let Trump walk all over them and anyone of note who has opposed him. You can see Trump's entire 65-minute speech here. Worth noting:  Here’s a list I compiled of the people Trump slimed as I watched horrified in real time: Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (who he called the governor of Chicago), Adam Schiff, Rosie O’Donnell, Kaitlan Collins, Jake Tapper, Gavin Newsom, Ilhan Omar, Liz Warren, Jack Smith, Chuck Schumer and James Talarico...Unhinged: In the last 24 hours, Trump has uploaded almost 50 disturbing Truth Social posts.  If one of your relatives engaged in that burst of anti-social online behavior, you’d be preparing for a mental health intervention about now. I’m curious about who helps Trump with these posts. Who creates the politically dark and disjointed AI images? Who frames the messaging like this one about himself: The Man Who Saved America. It appears as if there's a somewhat coordinated operation behind the posts, but the American public knows so little about it....Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of the federal government’s Covid response, wrote a diary during the  pandemic.  It’s available online here.  The diary was released by the Senate Homeland Security Chairman Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)... If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Fauci’s Diaries Reveal Ugly Truth and Uglier Ego

One of the ugly truths revealed is something we’ve ALL known. It’s something that Fauci KNEW and has spent years stating the opposite. He went on camera a multitude of times and insisted the lab leak theory was a non-starter. It was bogus. The wet markets were the culprit. How DARE we question him when he tells us ‘the science is settled!??’

The WNBA has also been at the “forefront” of “initiatives” to “support” a variety of left-wing issues such as “gun control,” “#MeToo,” and “#BlackLivesMatter,” among others. With such a history, it is not surprising that the WNBA refused to allow players at their All-Star game to wear “USA 250” patches on their uniforms.

Oprah sold generations of American women a bill of goods — then cashed the check while the predators she platformed cashed in on the very vulnerability she romanticized. And those women she poisoned with therapeutic lies and feel-good propaganda are the vanguard of a predatory political movement the Obamas have led for close to twenty years.
